My wife and I were looking at moving to Montana or Idaho as we just couldn’t afford to compete for a house out here. It sucked because we both grew up here. But then my best friend hit me up and was like “Hey my mom is thinking about selling her house. She’ll sell it to you off the market if I can rent the basement for a while.” Got the house off market for under appraisal value plus we’re renting out the finished basement which is paying half the mortgage. Got incredibly lucky. Couldn’t have worked out better for us.

That said, it’s all supply and demand. As long as people are moving here faster than houses can be built, prices will rise. Once equilibrium is reached, they’ll level out. It’s fairly impossible to tell exactly when that will happen, but I’m guessing they’ll continue to rise for at least the next 5 years.
